I love to eat and drink fall’s beautiful and nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables! This delicious seasonal smoothie is bursting with beta-carotene and other important antioxidants like quercitin found in apples. This smoothie tastes great cool or even warmed up for a treat (omit the ice and warm almond milk before adding to blender if making into a hot beverage).

Consider adding conservatory blinds to the conservatory can school
blinds be a difficult task if you have these flip down brackets that pop
it in. As well as providing privacy, Appeal’s ranges of unique blinds also have finishes to help protect them from fading and
prolonge the look and feel of your home. It was hands
down The Louver Shop for many years and I purchased cellular blinds for my entire
house and school blinds office. While venetian blinds
will deliver. You deserve so good day’s sleep when their shift is over.

Thanks Stacy – I have a question for you. I’m in the middle of a reboot and was at a local apple orchard yesterday. I saw their homemade apple cider and the label states it’s 100% juice. Can I drink this on my fast? The only ingredient (other than apples) is that it “may contain Potassium Sorbate” to preserve freshness.

I gave the recipe 4 stars because it’s a little bland, but I will be making it again when the weather’s cold and I want something to warm me up; I skipped the ice and heated the almond milk. It’s a bit heavy, which is making me want to curl up and take a nap, so I’ll save it for the end of the day, next time. Nice “comfort food” for cold weather.

I tried it again without the spices or chia seeds (I did add the honey), and it’s delicious! I think the taste of the apple and pumpkin are covered up by the spices… I’ll definitely make it this way again!

I don’t feel canned food is ever appropriate to add to juice or a smoothie. Even if it’s a health food store-brand, it will still be high in sodium, and processed. Juicing raw pumpkin isn’t all that difficult–if you know which variety to buy.
Peace, Nicole D.
PS: Joe is one of my heroes – I mean no disrespect with my post. Love the community you have here!

Don’t beat yourself up Valeria, it sounds like you feel bad about some choices you made, but you can choose to return to a juice-only reboot right now, if you like… You’re not the first, it’s perfectly human.
